Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ memoir | Figure Numbering restarts automatically

[tho_mi]

Hey,

i have a little problem with the numbering of my figures. My document consists of several chapters, and after the second one the counter of the figures is reset, but I don't know why.

The code looks like the following:

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}
	\centering
	\noindent\includegraphics[width=\ScaleIfNeeded]{xy.jpg}
	\caption[title_short]{title_long}
\end{figure}

Code: Select all

\begin{equation}
\Delta T = L - Ln + K - Kn
\end{equation}

In the head I did the following:

Code: Select all

\numberwithin{equation}{section}
\renewcommand{\theequation}{\arabic{equation}}
\renewcommand{\thefigure}{\arabic{figure}}
\addto\captionsenglish{\renewcommand{\figurename}{Fig.}}

I use the document class memoir.
Does anybody know why the counter of the figures is reset after the second chapter?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

welcome to the board!

The answer in Continuously numbering figures and tables can be applied here. Specifically in memoir, the chngcntr functionality is included, so it's sufficient to write into the preamble:

Code: Select all

\counterwithout{figure}{chapter}

Similar for other counters, for consistency, if desired.

Hey,

wonderful, thanks
But there's still another problem. In the list of figures there's a little gap between figure 6 and 7 (at figure 7 occured the problem with the reset of the numbering).
A screenshot is enclosed.

Code: Select all

\renewcommand*\insertchapterspace{}

should help. For more information about \insertchapterspace take a peek at the memoir documentation.

(Since I got no MWE from you, I will not a offer a MWE, too.)

Thanks, works fine. Could you please tell me what the problem was?

Could you please tell me what the problem was?

Usually an extra vertical space will be inserted between figure and table list entries of different chapters. So if Figure 1 and Figure 2 belong to the same chapter, but Figure 3 to a different one, one will get an extra vertical space (usually 10pt) between the list entries of Figure 2 and Figure 3.

Using memoir this space will be inserted by \chapter with \insertchapterspace. So re-defining \insertchapterspace to do nothing will cause the removal of the extra vertical space.

Ok, thanks
